Lithium Battery Incidents on US Flights Occur Weekly on Average
This year, 69 lithium battery incidents involving smoke, fire, or extreme heat have occurred on U.S. flights as of Dec. 16, FAA data show.
This equates to more than 1.3 incidents per week. Since 2015, the number of such events has increased by more than 330 percent.
Between March 3, 2006, and Nov. 5, 2024, a total of 579 lithium battery incidents were recorded, with the majority of cases coming from passenger carriers.
Battery packs and batteries accounted for the bulk of these incidents, with 229 events, followed by e-cigarettes/vape devices with 122, cell phones with 81, laptops with 70, and the rest involving other electronic and medical devices.
Don't panic. This is extremely rare. Far rarer than serious adverse vax reactions. Keep in mind that, according to recent data, the FAA handles over 45,000 flights every day. This includes both commercial airline flights and general aviation aircraft.

2. I have been paying CPP & OAS for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). Being a Canadian citizen for over 20 years & paying my taxes, I am eligible at 65 to apply for Old Age Security - OAS (paid for through my taxes).
3. My Canada Pension payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid...
